Quotes:

Jon Flint:Look, isn't it just possible that you're mistaken, Foley? That Ellis Dewald just resembles Todd's killer? Axel:I made the guy in Detroit. It was Dewald. Jon Flint:I mean, Dewald is the head of the largest private police department in Southern California. I mean, he works with us! With the L.A.P.D. Hell, with the governor's office! Everybody loves him. Det. Sgt. William 'Billy' Rosewood:He's even getting an award tonight from the National Association of Security Agencies. Jon Flint:Axel, it's understandable that you're distraught and-and looking for justice, and not to mention revenge. But, isn't it just possible that you - that you want it so much, that you saw your killer in a man who bore a slight resemblance? Det. Sgt. William 'Billy' Rosewood:Hell, we run into this all the time in police work, Axel. Axel:Where's Dewald getting that award tonight? Jon Flint:Axel, don't. Axel:Hey Flint, your friend Dewald it foul, okay? I know he's foul and I'm goin' down to this award show tonight and I'm gonna put some pressure on him and maybe I'll panic him into doing something stupid. Det. Sgt. William 'Billy' Rosewood:Axel, if you go to that dinner tonight... I'm going with you. [...] See more »

I think "Beverly Hills cop III" was an extremely regrettable turning point
in the nice career of one of the most talented and funniest black comedians
Hollywood has ever seen - Mr. Eddie Murphy. Before it he used to be funny or
at least much funnier. He appeared in the rather enjoyable flicks like "48
Hrs.", "Coming to America", "Another 48 Hrs.", "The Distinguished
gentleman", "Boomerang" and of course "Beverly Hills cop I & II" - two
beloved movies that'll always be his very best works.

Then someone decided to add part three in the so far terrific "Beverly Hills
cop" saga. This time Axel Foley was on the mission of revenge and the comedy
was unfortunately replaced by action. Who forgot that most of the glamour
behind these movies came directly from the humor? Even though John Landis -
the man behind hit comedies like "The Blues Brothers" and "Three Amigos!" -
sat in the director's chair the end result just wasn't that funny anymore or
at least it was funny very rarely and that's a bad thing if we compare part
three to its absolutely hilarious precursors.
...and as it happened, after "Beverly Hills cop III" Eddie Murphy got roles
from the movies like "Vampire in Brooklyn" (with only couple of excellent
scenes), "Metro" (that apparently wasn't supposed to be funny in the first
place), "Doctor Dolittle" (cute little film for kiddies who love furry
animals that talk), "Holy man" (interesting but more confusing than amusing)
and "Nutty Professor II: The Klumps" (definitely one of his worst movies,
waste of his undisputed talents and a model example of a comedy that doesn't
make you laugh).

Lately I saw "Life" and surprisingly it was pretty brilliant and alongside
with fairly good "Bowfinger" it's the only completely clear exception in
this course. What I'm saying is, "Beverly Hills cop III" started it all. Was
it all just a coincidence or was it meant to be that Eddie Murphy's best
years were in the 80's and early 90's? I can't tell. This is just the way I
see things.
